The Review Panel was chaired by Susan Capalbo (OSU). Members included Jack Barth (OSU), Sally Hacker (OSU), Jo-Ann Leong (Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology), Jim Sanders (Skidaway Institute of Oceaongraphy) and John Stein (NOAA Fisheries). The charge to the Panel was to “determine how [the OSU Hatfield Marine Science Center
(HMSC)] has performed on its strategic plan, which has four basic principal objectives
related to research, education, partnerships, and community interactions. … how HMSC
as an entity orchestrates and facilitates the work of Oregon State University and its
partners.” At the conclusion of the two‐day review, the Review Team was able to develop several shared impressions and overarching observations (not mutually exclusive) about the
OSU Hatfield Marine Science Center which help shape the context within which they
evaluated the opportunities for Center and the recommendations in five specific areas: research, academic programs, partnerships and infrastructure, community interactions and organizational structure.
